Phasma shards for iOS? [Updated: Sent out]

    If it's like the Poe shards on Android, then they will appear in the inbox in the evening, not at the daily reset. I get my Poe shards after arena payout.

    They are already 12 hours late then..

    But the phasma shards were supposed to start yesterday, and it didn't.

    Just would have liked to have even a little bit of communication. Would solve so many issues

    I hope that again EA doesn't screw up iOS players.

    I still didn't get my Phasma shards.

    Yep still no shards, guess iOS doesn't get anything, the 2 star Lando was gone before I woke up, not that it matters I have Lando already, but shards would be nice.

    Community Update is today, at any rate.

    @EA_Jesse, would it be possible for you to address this in your weekly update?

    We never announced that players would be receiving shards for Captain Phasma on iOS.

    Where are you all getting this information?

    o_O

    It was in the game data that Android users would receive Poe from the 28th to the 4th, and that iOS users would get Phasma from the 31st to the 6th. The Poe promotion happened, but the Phasma one is a no-show.

    Edit: Fixed typo

    @EA_Jesse You also never announced that Android users would get Poe shards, and yet they are.

    If it isn't officially announced then it may or may not happen. I've warned everyone before, be very careful when reading about information that is data mined, because it may be left over information that is no longer up to date.

    But... the Android one happened. It was literally the same promotion, only reversing the characters from the original TFA release.

    @EA_Jesse At this point, that is not the issue. The issue is that once again you are segregating players by chosen device. Because I like iOS better than Android, I am punished.

    Ok, so you may or may not be saying that android in the us/Canada get free Poe shards but iOS gets nothing, again. Really?

    Maybe this is the April fools joke that we were all waiting for.

    Promotions will always happen. Sometimes Google Play will get stuff that iOS doesn't and vice versa.

    Seems to be all google though. Special packs, new content, the spring thing, now Poe shards. So IOS players are not the players you desire it seems. Maybe all IOS should stop spending money until we get a fair shake. Android has been getting a ton of free stuff the last few weeks, even new content, while IOS sits here hearing how great it is. Pretty bad business to isolate a large portion of your customer base.

    Is fairness important to EA/CG when considering all platforms are competing in the same game? And the poe thing was in the same datamined info that the phasma thing was...

    @EA_Jesse will lando come back for iOS users at least? It was all we got, but taken down immediately because of an exploit, so most people didn't get him.

    The devs put things in the game's files, and with the right tools you can get at that data. In this case, it means that a few weeks ago we figured out that there was a promotion to correspond with the home release of TFA.

    A better way of putting it would be files that are in the game software but are either not yet in use or are hidden from the user. "Data mining" refers to publishing information from those files.

    I seem to remember way back in December that to celebrate TFA coming out to theaters that iOS got free Poe shards and Android got free Phasma shards. Right?

    Correct. The data mined information for this promotion (in March/April) was identical for both iOS and Android except that the Android one was supposed to start earlier and they reversed the characters each platform was to receive (Poe for Android and Phasma for iOS).

    @EA_Jesse, would it be possible for you to verify that this wasn't an accident or a communications mishap? I can't think of a reason to cancel half of a promotion.

    This +1000. We got a TWO STAR Lando. I mean the least they could have done is given us a 4 star (Like how he opens if you grind him). This is getting to be fairly ridiculous. I don't understand why EA/CG can't see how this type of activity creates discord among the player base. Honestly, it's this type of thing that ticks me off way worse that any update.

    The last time iOS got a promotion it was exploited by the users, so I can see why EA/CG would be hesitant in giving them more free characters.

    You need to speak to someone at the top! I cannot believe that you are not aware of this. Again, just go to show the communication within your ranks is appalling. They are doing things behind your back, and you are getting stick from the players for it.

    @Daddyngo007 actually the captain phasma promo info was datamined and they never announced it.

    They also never announced the Poe promotion.
